Blood Banking - Transfusion Medicine

Blood banking and transfusion medicine is the field focused on the collection, testing, processing, and storage of blood and blood products for safe transfusion to patients in need. Blood banks ensure that donated blood is screened for infections and properly matched to recipients based on blood type to prevent complications. This process plays a crucial role in treating trauma, surgeries, and certain medical conditions where patients may have low blood levels. By managing the supply and quality of blood products, blood banking helps save lives and improve patient outcomes in clinical settings.
